The 📚 emoji (U+1F4DA, "Books") shows a stack of piled books. It is the reference emoji for anything related to reading, studying, libraries and knowledge. Used to talk about a recommended book, an intense study session or to identify someone as a reading enthusiast. On Instagram and Bookstagram, 📚 is omnipresent in posts by enthusiastic readers.
The difference between 📚 (stack of books) and 📖 (open book) is important: 📚 represents the library, the collection and accumulated knowledge, while 📖 represents the act of reading right now. One is quantity, the other is experience.
For reading: 📚 (book stack, library), 📖 (currently reading), 🔖 (bookmark, pick up later). For studying and schoolwork: 📝 (note-taking), ✏️ (writing), 📓 (class notebook), 🎓 (degree, end of studies). For knowledge and culture: 🧠 (intelligence), 📜 (important document).
On TikTok, the #BookTok community uses 📚, 📖 and 🎓 massively for content related to literature, reading recommendations and revision. 📚 is one of the most iconic emojis of this community.
